Dear Juno, Or Any Other Pregnant Teenager in the Same Situation
The decision to raise a child and be a mother I can imagine, can be a very tough choice. Unfortunately getting pregnant could’ve been avoided if precautionary measures were taken. Nonetheless, the outcome doesn’t change what you choose to do. Speaking for myself only, this is not my issue or problem but, it is for you to resolve. Whether or not those actions have good consequences are not up to me.
In contrast, I do believe you need to realize what you did and take full responsibility. Having sex is not just an activity adults do, many times if not most do these actions result in unwanted pregnancies. The trauma each woman goes through from finding out that they are pregnant can be devastating. Although, this can be prevented if each individual plans thoroughly in order to insure nothing unexpected happens. In your case, you ended up having a child, an unwanted pregnancy. Sex should not be a result of getting bored, there are many other activities besides engaging in sexual intercourse. As a result, in the future I recommend that you and your partner think carefully before you decide to do so.
Due to the fact that, you are pregnant and expecting to deliver a child into this world there are options that you can take. First, abortion comes to every one’s mind which is the most fast and easy way to take care of the problem. Although, I am not an advocate for abortion, I do believe that every person is entitled to the right. People across the country get into hot discussions over this topic but ultimately it is up to you to make that decision. Do not let others decide for you, the pain you will go through from giving child birth will not be felt by them. Secondly, adoption is another alternative. Many times women go through depression and second thoughts after getting an abortion. Adoption seems to be a much easier path to take, delivering the baby and giving it to a loving family certainly outweighs abortion. Lastly, the option is to deliver the baby and raise it as your own. Sometimes we feel that we are mature enough to handle tough decisions and if you feel that way then why not go for it. Raising the child will take away the thoughts of whether or not you should’ve had an abortion, how is my child doing ever since I gave him up for adoption, or does he ever think about me? Mothers across the country certainly feel happy with making this decision and feel it was for the best. In either case, the accountability for your actions is ultimately up to you.
In conclusion, I hope that you have thought deeply concerning your future decisions. The time to think is not there anymore because each day that baby you are nurturing in your womb is growing. It is time now to act as an adult and take full responsibility in your future endeavors. I wish you well and hope you are happy with the choice you make.
